ITT: PC shooter ports on console. what's your favorite one of these games? all retro consoles welcome, but 5th gen was peak for these games and will be the focus of the thread.

IMO, out of every port spanning Doom 64 to Saturn Quake, this is the best one.

Why would you play a PC shooter on a console?

PSX Doom has an interesting atmosphere but it's one of the weaker ones honestly. No saving, lots of slowdown, etc. I will give it credit for having 2 player co-op over system link though, that was pretty fucking cool. For best PSX shooter I'd have to go with Quake 2 also, both N64/PS1 versions of Quake 2 are badass.

I've played just about every shooter on both PC and console that you could possibly imagine and I've played Quake 3 competitively for 20+ years and I have never understood this shitty attitude. Good games are good games. If you can't get good at a console shooter then you sure as shit aren't any good at something as deep as a PC shooter.

Serious Sam on the Xbox merges the First and Second encounter into one big game. It's a decent way to play the game, but the newly introduced lives system really trivializes the game IMO.

[Anonymous No.7725741]

>>7725707
Quake 2 on N64 is not even a proper port but a new game using Quake 2 assets with new levels
Why would you not play it if you liked Quake 2 on OC and wanted more?
Every port has its own charm, differences, back in those days each console was unique.

I mean I hate dismissing them out of hand because I have fond memories, but whenever I go back to one the lack of a mouse is just an inadequacy they can't really overcome no matter how much chutzpuh and ingenious design they have. The only exception is when shooting is a side mechanic like metal gear.

He (you) is not the first person on /v/ to pretend to be a Quake pro and challenge someone to a fake duel. I would call the bluff, but it doesn't take 20+ years of experience to beat me. The only competitive Quake I've played was Live a decade ago. There are other games that I am very skilled at, but I don't boast about it to win one over in arguments.

Turok 1 and 2 are just giant repetitive mazes with a lot of fog
The Turok 3 engine is so superior it's not funny, the game was designed around the limitations of the N64 so there's no fog and the stages are a sequence of setpieces that work better on console
The graphics and framerate are much better too, those next gen facial animations are beautiful

Doom 64 isnt a port really but its my favorite. N64 is the only quake and quake 2 ive played, its good. Goldeneye and Perfect dark blow most of those ports out of the water though. I couldnt really get into Turok too much fog and it seemed to generic and huge but empty. Maybe ill try it again sometime.

The analog controls are pretty fucked and using shoulder button to look up and down somehow feels better. PS Mouse is a must for this.

Based as fuck, and my answer as well. PSX Doom is incredibly unique and imo a superior way to experience Doom and Doom 2, not counting sourceports. The lack of an archvile is a hit to it but overall it's more refined and has Doom 2 monsters in Doom 1, SSG in Doom 1, trims the fat on all the worst levels like Downtown and E3M1. Even Final Doom massively trimmed the fat by making TNT more bearable (however Plutonia got severely fucked, only 6 maps.)

You mean the thing that people have spent the last 20 years adding to Doom 1/2 to make it look less generic and boring? There are plenty of things to criticize about this game but the vastly improved lighting effects is not one of them.
>and Doom 64 music and sounds.
... and totally different graphics, redrawn sprites, and a soundtrack that's cool and moody instead of garbage MIDI rock, and new levels with a wider range of aesthetics, traps and secrets, not to mention the added weapon and enemies. You'd have to be such a fucking faggot to dislike Doom 64 if you like Doom 1/2, what a retarded take.

Doom's music is not good. It's extremely simple, grating MIDI tones that attempt to replicate bad early 90s grunge and metal music. It sounds like that 8-bit hipster "chiptune" music that literal problem glasses-wearing homosexuals listen to while admiring their funko collection. You want good music? Quake, Perfect Dark, Timesplitters, those games have good music. Doom sounds like fucking trash and you know it.

They look better. Cope.
> the color scheme is fucking awful
Vibrant colors and blended gradients are "fucking awful" but the same techbase textures repeated for dozens of levels with nothing but garish red, blue and neon green to break up the brown/grey monotony is supposed to look good? Get your eyes checked your fucking queer.
